This book contains great explanations and well-written instructions. As an absolute beginner, I found it really easy to figure out, and I learned a lot. There were moments when the structure of the book made it confusing, having to flip back and forth for instructions, but it's overall a decent place to start learning about origami.

Great book about the beautiful art of Origami. It begin with the basic and slowly present harder figure to make. Well explain, simple but well done! I have almost no dexterity at all so I'm very bad at it, but I enjoy the book anyway! Great for everyone who want to try!

Origami is a real art form. Folding paper may sound easy, but it requires precision and a lot of different processes which can be difficult to master.
This book sets out all the folds and techniques needed for a beginner learning origami, and a few different designs to practice. It even tells you how to make your own origami paper rather than forking out for expensive pre-made sheets, if you wish.
I like this book because it is easy to use. It has real and clear pictures of what the piece should look like throughout the folding process, so the instructions are easy to follow. It explains each new technique clearly, and there is a handy glossary to help you remember what all the symbols mean.
The designs are interesting and varied, and there is a good range from the most basic to the slightly more advanced. There are also handy tips on how you can use or expand on the designs if you wish.
Origami 101 a good, comprehensive guide for people of all ages interesting in learning the art of origami.

I've always wanted to learn how to Origami. I've tried numerous times by watch YouTube videos but have failed miserably. My cousin has tried to teach me too, but yet again I've still not mastered it properly. I can make a boat and a flapping bird but most of the time the bird doesn’t flap so gave up even trying.
I then saw this book on NetGalley and I was so excited. this book is brilliant for beginners like me. It starts with the basics of origami and works up to harder projects. The book has very easy step by step instructions accompanied with very useful pictures.
I will definitely be buying this book for a few of my friends who I know would love this for Christmas.

Using just four simple shapes, Origami 101 teaches makers to create 43 different figures from a simple penguin to a human being.
I love the simplicity of Origami 101. Everything is clearly explained. The use of a glow to indicate which part of the paper is moving when folding is brilliant. The step-by-step instructions and the slow increasing of the reader’s skills when following the order of projects within the book ensure everyone’s origami success. 4 stars!

Well written instructions and folds for different animal and bird shapes. Colourful and bright illustrations. For some folds we had to move back and forth.

I have been holding onto this book for over a month, waiting to have some time to really test out the patterns. I finally had the opportunity to do so, and I am glad that I did. I have been playing around with origami since I was a kid, and have always enjoyed folding beautiful paper into interesting and unexpected shapes. It's the kind of hobby/craft I turn to when I want a quick creative boost between my longer term creative pastimes.
However, as a dabbler, I always have to look up instructions for anything I am interested in making--and most written instructions are incredibly difficult to follow. Nowadays, I will often go to YouTube for these instructions, because seeing someone actually manipulate the paper can really help clarify how I should fold something. But still, all too often, probably at least half of the projects that I try are complete failures.
But now, there is Origami 101! This is a fantastic book, with really clear and well-thought-out diagrams that provide the exact information that is missing from standard origami instructions. The ones that I found most helpful are the diagrams that show which edges should be aligned when folding and the one that shows which crease should be reinforced before creating an inside or outside reverse fold.
I only got through the first section of the book--the section focused on the kitefold base--but I was pleased with how well the different models built my skills. And, even the earliest, simplest models were interesting shapes that I had not folded before.
I also appreciated the suggestion and instructions for using standard printer paper to learn on before folding origami paper. I reviewed an e-book advanced reading copy from the publisher via NetGalley, and so I didn't receive the sample paper that will be provided with the actual book, I thought the samples shown in the book did a great job of using pre-printed/colored paper, which I assume is the paper that will be provided. That is an extra benefit.
All in all, I think this is a great basic book that provides the reader with a set of basic skills that should allow more confidence when tackling more complex (and less well-diagrammed) models in the future. I am planning on purchasing an actual published copy of this book to keep on my crafting bookshelf, so that if a crafting urge or some pretty paper calls out to me, I know where I can go to make sure I am able to accomplish something I can be proud of.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Origami 101 is a new release in the 101: Look, Learn & Create series. Released 21st Aug, 2018 by Quarry Books, it's 224 pages and available in ebook, hardback, paperback and spiral bound formats. This release is a reformat and re-release of the 2011 version which is updated with new content.
Author Benjamin John Coleman has written several books on origami. This one is aimed at complete beginners and starts with an introduction to concepts, some definitions and supplies. The text and accompanying illustrations are encouraging, clear, and easy to follow. Nothing to frighten or intimidate.
The book includes both photographs and line drawings. The projects introduce new folds in a tutorial step-by-step format and further projects incorporate already learned material along with new folds.
The book includes some -very- simple projects and some imagination may be needed to actually visualize the stated designs as what they're named. The Loon for example, without the specially colored paper, wouldn't be recognizable. Ditto the tropical fish and parakeet. However, there are some simple beginner folds which are elegant and beautiful (the sitting dragon is wonderful). I believe that all of the projects are original.
Origami is a wonderful mindfulness exercise as well as a worthy art. Crafting these as a classroom activity unit would be do-able.
I received an early access e-galley of this book. Apparently the full version comes with paper and online access to video clips and further support materials.
Four stars, original origami designs well presented.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Does what it says in the title! This 224-page book walks beginners through simple to more complex designs. As a complete beginner, I found the pictures and diagrams easy to follow, helped particularly by the method used called 'Glow Fold' which you can access through the included DVD, where the moving piece 'glows' during folding, doing away with any confusion that may occur with a static diagram - particularly helpful as the designs become more complex.
The designs themselves range from simple to advanced and include many flora and fauna - including fish and birds and even a fabulous Tyrannosaurus rex. Most look great with just white paper but a few look better with coloured paper - although of course you could colour them with pens or paint after completion to help enhance the appearance. Alongside the designs, tips are added on how to expand on the designs if you wish.
I think this is a terrific book and an ideal guide for beginners. My only reason for not giving it a higher rating is that a bit of a stretch of imagination is required to visually link some of the finished pieces with what they are supposed to be, and I would also personally like to see a wider range of designs beyond just flora and fauna. However, I would highly recommend it as an excellent way to start the craft.

I liked the format of the book. Instead of starting with all the folding diagrams they are explained in detail as you encounter them. I found this to be an easy structure to follow. However, there were a few times you were flipping to different chapters to do some of the foldings. I know it would be repetitive but I prefer to have it all written out in order for me. Be sure to put bookmarks to make it easier to go to different sections of the book and find what you are looking for.
The book refers to a DVD that is supposed to come with the book. That might be helpful for some. I did not have access to the DVD because it was an advance copy for me to review.
I am a beginner with Origami. I wanted to try it for stress relief. I was concerned my perfectionist qualities would make it a stressful experience. It turned out to be a lot of fun.
Most of the shapes were birds that looked similar or animals. There were 2 different flowers. I would have liked more flower options.

What a great book this was! I have only just about mastered the art of making a paper plane, but now thanks to this book the sky is the limit!!
Lots of different design to make such as The Penguin, The Flying Crane, The Rooster and, my favourite, the Tyrannosaurus Rex! As you go through the book, the designs do begin to look harder and harder, but the instructions are concise and easy to follow with tips on how to follow the symbols used within them. There are clear colour examples of the finished product and there are plenty of designs to try right from beginners to accomplished origami makers!
There is also a pop-out symbol bookmark to keep by yourself when you are doing the designs, just to remind you of the different symbols and folds. I won’t kid you and say it’s easy to do, but it’s definitely a lot of fun and you may be lucky and make something that looks like the picture (unlike me!)

Really excellent book that you definitely want to read with some origami paper (or a cheaper equivalent) next to you. My fingers itched to try out the techniques for myself, and I had to put the book down, to hunt up some paper use. The figures are clear and (relatively) easy to follow, even for a complete novice. I only had regular paper which was definitely too thick for some of the folds, but it still gave me a good idea of how the theory worked, and I'm on the lookout for some proper origami paper to try it out "for real" now.
The book is separated into sections that each start out with the same basic shape, which nicely shows off the variations you can get from just a few changes. Each section starts out with some simple figures, and then proceeds to much more complex figures with a lot of details.
A fun and approachable book.

I was sent a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
I love origami, but this book did not attract me. It started with a great base for some techniques, but it felt lacking in excitement and passion. Also, the difficult folds were brushed over a little bit and it felt like the author did not give them as much attention as the simple basic folds. But it may be just my feeling?!

Not the best origami book, but a decent introduction. It's annoying that one has to go through several steps of several different other projects to make what you want. Instead, I wish they would put the full instructions in each project.

I love Origami and this, beginners instruction book written by Benjamin Coleman is just a brilliant way of teaching a person or persons ,if are they a child, a teenager or an adult, a very easy way to begin learning a wonderful craft. The illustrations and the simple and easy projects are a delight. I have been a fan of paper folding for many years now and have had much enjoyment teaching others to enjoy it. I know that his book would be a great gift for someone for Christmas or for a special occasion gift, I recommend this book.

Great instruction as how to do all the main folds in origami. A good book for beginners. However I was disappointed in some of the 'makes, as they seemed poorly thought out and did not always look much like the title given.

I've always loved origami, but haven't done any myself since I was a kid. This book is super easy to follow for even someone with no experience. The book begins with instruction on making practice paper using inexpensive printer/copier paper so the reader/crafter won't need to make a trip to the store for special origami paper to begin. I blew through the beginning designs with no trouble at all following the diagrams and written instructions. Designs get progressively more intricate as you move through the book and more techniques are added. This book would provide hours of fun for nearly any age!
Thank you to NetGalley and Quarry books for the opportunity to read and review this fun book! All comments are my own, unbiased opinion.

I really could not wait to review this book because my 12 year old and 9 year old loves to do Origami with me. The instructions on how to do certain folds helped a lot! I took pictures of what we made on my other device and will add them later. This book has 226 pages and is packed with amazing and fun origami. Here is an example of what you will find in this book and I would buy this book to give as a gift.

I needed a craft for my girl scout troop to master that would keep a group of girls from 6-13 busy. This book filled the bill beautifully. With easy illustrated steps and on the spot explanations of each step, the girls were able to fill the room with beautiful creations. Their results also inspired them to try the more difficult models at home. Origami celebrates the individuality of each artist while still being a group activity. Thank youu for building some awesome memories for us.

Thank you to Quarry Books and Net Galley for an e-arc of this title in exchange for my honest review. THIS is how you do a craft book. I tried some of the origami pieces, and I've not been successful with this in the past. I was able to follow, and complete, the ones I tried. I recommend this.

Origami has always facinated me. The style and how to take one square of paper and turn it into something so beautiful or a different shape has me in awe. This is a beginner book for young and old with beautifully illustrated step by step photos of how to do different origami shapes. I have been wanting to make my own cards and this book would be helpful in that and scrapbooking. Some of the shapes I likeds were Peacock, Graceful Swan, 8 pointed Star, and the Sea Turtle. This is a great way to show your creative side and relax.

Origami 101
This book is big. And Full. It is intended for novices wanting to learn the Japanese art of paper folding. Very little would be helpful to those already versed in the art. This book takes a different direction when teaching origami. First off the book does not start with a glossary of various folding symbols and what they mean. They instead put these in special boxes or pages and teach that fold when it is needed in a specific design. It also uses color to help a novice differentiate various instructions and paper direction. The book says there is an accompanying DVD which should even more useful. Having read (but never conquered) many origami book, I can say that this one is different. Is that a good thing, I don’t know. It depends on the learner. But I do think this is an excellent book to try.

I am reviewing this book Origami 101, for Benjamin Coleman, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review.
I reviewed this as I thought it would be a useful book to be at hand in the school I work at and I was proved correct. We have used it countless times to engage pupils in something other than ‘work’. It is amazing how relaxed they become when they are focussing on something else. The clear instructions mean that something spectator is always created – and unbelievably just from four simple shapes!
